I started with the goal of doing at least one Dare to Get Dirty card for Covington Crafter's challenge, my Favorites teammate, and I branched out to fit several other challenges while looking for possible inspiration. My little girl digital image was a walk down nostalgia lane in that I decided to color her with the coloring medium I used when I first learned to color and shade...my wax woodless-coloring pencils and mineral spirits used to set the color.
3. DD9ABC16P - Alphabet Challenge, Letter P = Persimmon Orange and Pumpkin Orange - 6/6/18. Bonus is positive & negative. My positive space is the little girl, fall-colored image panel popped up, and my negative space is the abstract fall-colored background dsp that enhances the colors used in my positive image. (I'm hoping I understand what the bonus is).
4. FS601 - Featured Stamper: NerdyBeth - 8/12/18. Looking for layout ideas and the subject for my card, I used Beth's "Amelia's Notions" here: Amelia's notions by NerdyBeth at Splitcoaststampers. It gave me an idea for using a little girl image and popping it up on a panel. I switched my band to a vertical zigzag instead of horizontal and and added my buttons to the zigzag instead of placing them in a corner. Thanks Beth for the great idea...I loved browsing your gallery for ideas.
5. WT698 - Ways to Use It - 7/26/18: It's Hot & Sticky Out There! Pop up your image and/or sentiment. I also thought fall for coolness!
6. USEIT2018 - annual ongoing. Using materials and tools that are gathering dust. Almost everything on my card has been in my stash for over five years! YIKES!

Carlene, this is an adorable digi and it says Fall, that's for sure. Congrats on doing so many challenges. I see some pretty Fall paper in the background, too. Autumn will be here before we know it. This is such a pretty and sweet card.
